  2. Plane joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_joint

    A plane joint (arthrodial joint, gliding joint, plane articulation) is a synovial joint which, under physiological conditions, allows only gliding movement. Plane joints permit sliding movements in the plane of articular surfaces. The opposed surfaces of the bones are flat or almost flat, with movement limited by their tight joint capsules.

  3. Synovial joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_joint

    A multiaxial joint, such as the hip joint, allows for three types of movement: anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, and rotational. A multiaxial joint (polyaxial joint or triaxial joint) is a synovial joint that allows for several directions of movement. [9] In the human body, the shoulder and hip joints are multiaxial joints. [10]

  4. Role of skin in locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role_of_Skin_in_Locomotion

    The arrangement of connective tissue fibers determines the range of motion of a body, and serves as an antagonist against muscle contraction. [4] The most commonly observed connective tissue arrangement for soft bodied animals consists of layers of alternating right and left-handed helices of connective tissue fibers which surround the ...

  5. Fascial manipulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascial_Manipulation

    In the muscle system, it is present in loose connective tissue that is between muscle and fascia allowing normal movement. Due to injury, prolonged tension of the HA molecules can aggregate increasing its viscosity and irritating the free nerve endings. [ 1 ]

  6. Human musculoskeletal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_musculoskeletal_system

    The extra-cellular connective tissue between muscle fibers binds to tendons at the distal and proximal ends, and the tendon binds to the periosteum of individual bones at the muscle's origin and insertion. As muscles contract, tendons transmit the forces to the relatively rigid bones, pulling on them and causing movement.

  7. Synovial membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_membrane

    When this happens, the synovium can interfere with the normal functioning of the joint. Excessive thickened synovium, filled with cells and fibrotic collagenous tissue, can physically restrict joint movement. The synovial fibroblasts may make smaller hyaluronan so it is a less effective lubricant of the cartilage surfaces.

  8. Sliding filament theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_filament_theory

    The sliding filament theory explains the mechanism of muscle contraction based on muscle proteins that slide past each other to generate movement. [1] According to the sliding filament theory, the myosin ( thick filaments ) of muscle fibers slide past the actin ( thin filaments ) during muscle contraction, while the two groups of filaments ...

  9. Joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint

    A joint or articulation (or articular surface) is the connection made between bones, ossicles, or other hard structures in the body which link an animal's skeletal system into a functional whole. [1] [2] [3] They are constructed to allow for different degrees and types of movement.
